This Mr. Yang is very friendly. First, he exposed a small stall owner who was wearing a dog skin and a tiger skin at that small stall. Later, Ning Nuan took a fancy to a piece of jewelry in another small stall, even though Mr. Yang reminded him a long time ago. , but still couldn't tell the difference between the dog's tooth and the wolf's tooth, and was helped by Mr. Yang again.
Mr. Yang met her in two sessions one after another, and both times he saw her being deceived by the stall owner, and he was really tangled.
"Are all the people from your capital so easy to deceive?" Mr. Yang wondered, "I saw one before, someone sold a kitten as a tiger cub, he didn't recognize it, and he was confused. I bought it for 100 taels of gold, and made a big profit. Now that I see you again, are people in your capital so easy to deceive?"
Ning Nuan couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
She defended herself softly: "There are no such things in the capital, and because it is rare, I accidentally said it. With Mr. Yang reminding me earlier, I was already a little vigilant, and I didn't even think about buying it. , just took a few more glances..."
"If you like that wolf tooth, I can introduce you to a reliable shop, which is genuine." Mr. Yang said.
They only have two sides. First, they said that there are liars everywhere in Qingzhou, and then said that they knew a shop. If anyone else, they would only take this Mr. Yang as a trust. Ning Nuan looked at him a few times, looking at him tall and straight, with a straight face, and at first glance, he didn't look like that kind of person who would deceive people.
Ning Nuan thought for a while, and replied in a low voice, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, but I came to Qingzhou to find my brother. My brother has been in Qingzhou for a long time, and he also understands the style of this Qingzhou. After my brother comes back. , I'll let him show me around."
Mr. Yang didn't care, and responded casually: "If that's the case, then wait for your brother to come back."
Ning Nuan nodded.
But at noon, she and Xiang Tao entered a restaurant that looked good. When she wanted to settle lunch here, she saw Mr. Yang in a position by the window of the restaurant. Ning Nuan looked around. The restaurant's business is really good. Now is the busiest time of business. Every table is full of people. Only Mr. Yang has a vacant seat.
Ning Nuan hesitated and walked over with Xiang Tao.
When Mr. Yang saw her, he immediately raised his eyebrows, but he didn't refuse. Instead, he put away his belongings and made room for her.
Ning Nuan noticed that Mr. Yang only ordered a plate of meat and a pot of wine, and he didn't look like he was here to eat.
She ordered a few signature dishes of the restaurant before taking the initiative to say hello to Mr. Yang.
"Mr. Yang, I didn't expect us to meet again." Ning Nuan said: "It's really a coincidence."
Mr. Yang responded and asked, "Your brother hasn't come back yet?"
"My brother went out early this morning. I have something important to do, and I don't know when I will be back." Ning Nuan said, "I only dared to come out and walk in Qingzhou while my brother was away."
"It's not better than the capital. If something goes wrong, no one will help you. It's still early to see the sky. It's better for you to go back to the inn as soon as possible." Mr. Yang paused, glanced at Xiang Tao, and then said in a low voice: "You are a girl's family, and you are also bringing a maid, so you have to be careful outside."
Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, and Xiang Tao's expression changed almost immediately. Xiang Tao looked at her in horror, then turned to look at Ning Nuan in surprise, then turned to look at Mr. Yang, her eyes were wide open, and her eyes also revealed doubts.
The same is true for Ning Nuan.
Mr. Yang pointed to his earlobe and whispered, "I didn't know that men in the capital also wear earrings."
Ning Nuan subconsciously touched her round earlobe. Before she went out, she covered her pierced ears with powder, which should not have been seen. Ning Nuan turned her head to look at Xiang Tao, only to find that the fat powder on her ears had been rubbed off at some point, and two fleshy holes were exposed on the round earlobes, which could be seen at a glance. Since she can guess that Xiangtao is a girl, she is similar to Xiangtao, if Mr. Yang can guess it, it would not be surprising.
Ning Nuan was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Yang laughed."
"When did you find out?" Xiang Tao touched her earlobe and asked in a puzzled tone, "How would ordinary people notice this."
"You don't know that there are many mountains in Qingzhou, and there are many beasts. Qingzhou people often deal with beasts. If you have bad eyes, you can't fight much." Mr. Yang poured himself a glass of wine and smiled: "We usually stand in the mountains. , Every wind and grass is a signal of the presence of the prey, if the ears and eyes are not good, don't you have to let the prey run away in vain?"
"I heard those people call you Mr. Yang, and I listened to you, why is it not like a gentleman, but a hunter." Xiang Tao is even more curious.
Everyone in Qingzhou is tall and tall, and Mr. Yang is among them, and his figure is considered to be slender. They listened and thought that Mr. Yang was the teacher who taught in Qingzhou.
"There are few schools here, and there are only a few who can read and write. I just know a few more characters, so I can sound more elegant as a gentleman." Mr. Yang smiled and said, "If it were a gentleman, they wouldn't be afraid of me. "
Ning Nuan thought about it, the stall owners who met today, when they met Mr. Yang, really shivered and seemed to be very scared.
"After you finish this meal, you can go back to the inn." Mr. Yang said, "Or go for a walk in this Qingzhou city and go back before the sky gets dark. Remember, don't worry about it. Don't run around, there are many bandits in Qingzhou, if you accidentally bump into it, maybe you will be taken back as Mrs. Yazhai."
Ning Nuan couldn't help laughing, but he didn't feel scared because of his words.
Who made Ning Lang become the five kings in the cottage here, even in Ning Lang's face, those bandits would not treat her like that. Not to mention, that mountain bandit leader might be her future sister-in-law.
Ning Nuan thanked him.
Mr. Yang finished the wine in the bottle and ate up the meat on the plate. He didn't stay much longer and left soon. Ning Nuan remembered his words, and strolled around Qingzhou City again. Before it got dark, he quickly returned to the inn.
After watching her enter the inn, Chu Fei then withdrew his gaze.
He touched his chin and turned around to ask Wang Quan, "Do you think the Mr. Yang that Miss Ning met today looks familiar to you?"
Wang Quan was puzzled: "Your Highness has never been to Qingzhou, so how could you have met people from Qingzhou? Could it be that Your Highness remembered it wrong."
Chu Fei thought about it for a while, but he really couldn't remember it, so he stopped thinking about it deliberately. He gritted his teeth again and said, "Even though he was wearing men's clothes, he was still recognized. Couldn't that kid have any thoughts about Ning girl?"
Wang Quan rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "It's not like everyone is your lord, and when you see Ning girl, you will be surprised.
In his mouth, he replied, "That's the case, why didn't the lord come forward to recognize Miss Ning when he met her just now?" Instead, he secretly followed behind, watching from a distance, protecting the safety of Miss Ning. , and secretly solved a pickpocket who wanted to steal the purse.
"If I let her see me, she would definitely want to go back to the inn immediately, and she doesn't want to go shopping. What if she let her go for more shopping when she came back to Qingzhou for the first time, there is still a place for the king to come forward. What about Ning Lang? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Wang Quan: "Ning Gongzi went to the mountain, but he never came down."
And what about Ning Lang
Ning Lang has been waiting on the mountain for a day!
He went back to the mountain uneasy. He had not figured out how to face the man at first, but it turned out to be good. When he got to the mountain, he heard that the man had gone down the mountain early in the morning.
Ning Lang thought gloomily in his heart: Could it be that he heard that he had come back and wanted to avoid him
It's just that everyone in the cottage treated him as usual, and they didn't seem to know what happened in private, and they were puzzled by his sudden departure. And this time Ning Lang brought Jiang Yunlan over, and when he heard that he brought his mother over, everyone in the cottage was very enthusiastic.
Jiang Yunlan sat for a while, and then a burly man of five or three came to bring her tea, and then a man with a beard came to bring her fruit snacks. She was worried that she would not be able to sit comfortably, so she put an animal skin cushion on it. On the chair, the attitude is so good that it is like treating a mother.
Jiang Yunlan was not used to it.
Before she came, she had already thought that she would face a group of vicious mountain bandits, and how terrible these bandits would be. Who knew that after she came, she realized that these bandits were all different from her impressions.
The snacks were just delivered here, and another person came over there to refill her tea. After refilling the tea, she asked with concern: "Are you used to drinking this tea? Few people on the mountain like to drink this, everyone likes it. Drinking, that's all, I still found it out, if you don't like it, I'll send someone down the mountain to buy it for you?"
Jiang Yunlan was speechless, shook her head and said, "No need, I'm used to drinking it."
The mountain bandit man laughed so hard that he could not see his teeth but his eyes: "You just get used to it."
Jiang Yunlan: "..."
One bite on the left, one bite on the right, you can still be polite!
Jiang Yunlan poured a belly of tea and was invited to have lunch again. Hearing these bandits say, it was still wild boar that had just been called. After lunch, she finally couldn't wait any longer. She pulled Ning Lang and asked secretly, "Where is the person you're talking about? I've been sitting there all day, but I haven't seen a single person. Are you sure it's not you? Daydreaming? Taking it seriously?"
She has seen all the people in this cottage, all of them are big men with muscular muscles, and none of them look like a woman.
Ning Lang was also aggrieved: "Mother, the person is not in the cottage, even if I want to look for it, I can't find it for you."
Jiang Yunlan was helpless: "I have brought this gift, shouldn't I bring it back as it is?"
"No, mother, don't worry, she used to go down the mountain often, don't worry, she will definitely be back before dark." Ning Lang patted his chest and assured.
Jiang Yunlan looked at him suspiciously several times before reluctantly agreed.
Who knew she would drink tea for another afternoon, until someone came over and asked tentatively, "Are you going to stay here for dinner? I'll have someone go beat another wild boar?"
Jiang Yunlan: "..."
Jiang Yunlan turned around and grabbed Ning Lang's ear: "Where's the person? What about the person who agreed? Didn't you say you can come back before dark?!"
Ning Lang cried out, "Mother! I don't know either!"
…
Seeing that it was getting dark and not waiting for Jiang Yunlan and Ning Lang to come back, Ning Nuan asked Xiang Tao to go downstairs to buy food, and couldn't help but start to worry.
Although he knew that Ning Lang was very familiar in Qingzhou, and he was also one of the five kings on the mountain, but he did such a thing to the leader of the mountain bandit. If the king of the mountain came back to his senses, he would not let Ning Lang go. That would be bad.
Her brother can't even beat a dog, and her mother is even more powerless. Those bandits are all people who lick blood on the tip of a knife. If they want to do something to their mother and brother, they will even There is no chance for the slightest resistance.
If I knew earlier, I should bring a few more people out before going out. If I encounter something, I can protect my mother and brother. Ning Nuan sighed.
Xiang Tao came back with the food and knocked on the door. Ning Nuan got up and went to open the door for her. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, the door of the opposite room was also opened from the inside, and Mr. Yang, whom she had seen during the day, also appeared in front of her. .
Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, and Mr. Yang was stunned for a while, neither of them expected to see each other here. Or Xiangtao looked back and called out first: "Why are you fake gentleman here?"
Mr. Yang came back to his senses, and he was a little helpless: "I just found an inn to stay at random, but I ran into you again. It's really a coincidence."
Ning Nuan nodded sternly.
She turned sideways to let Xiang Tao in, and was about to close the door when she saw that the door of Mr. Yang's adjoining room was also slammed open, and Chu Fei appeared in front of her with a dark face, with a very unsightly expression on her face.
Ning Nuan: "…"
Chu Fei said in a stern tone: "Miss Ning, we are also very destined."
Ning Nuan: "…"
After the surprise, Ning Nuan was speechless and funny.
Needless to say, An Wang must have sneaked behind them again. He didn't know when he came. He even chose the room next to her, thinking that he came to prepare for a chance encounter. Mr. Yang took the lead.
If it is said that it is fate, it would be better to say that Mr. Yang is more fateful. I only met by chance today, and I met several times by chance.
Ning Nuan burst into laughter, nodded at Chu Fei, and then closed the door.
Chu Fei stared at the door panel, in a very bad mood.
He really wanted to pretend to have a chance encounter, but who knew that he was unlucky, and was snatched up by this Mr. Yang again. Today's Wang An is not pleasing to anyone, and he turns to look at Mr. Yang next door, and also thinks that his face is disgusting, really hateful.
Mr. Yang was puzzled: "You know this girl?"
Chu Fei glared at him, snorted heavily, turned his head into the room, slammed the door, and slammed it shut.
Mr. Yang: "..."
Mr. Yang shook his head, walked out, closed the door and went downstairs to eat.
Ning Nuan waited until it was dark, but did not wait for Jiang Yunlan and Ning Lang to come back, but King An came over halfway and told her that Jiang Yunlan and Ning Lang both lived on the mountain and would not come back. As for Ning Nuan, because when Ning Lang came to Qingzhou, he also brought a lot of people here. They were all in Qingzhou city and had come to protect her temporarily. It's just that Chu Fei was there, and the people he brought over, those people went back again.
After stopping the news that Jiang Yunlan and Ning Lang were all right, Ning Nuan was relieved. Knowing that someone was protecting her, she rested early in peace.
Ning Nuan woke up early the next morning. She had just finished taking a shower. Before she could send Xiang Tao down to buy breakfast, the people around An Wang brought food first. It seems that she is worried that she is not used to eating things in Qingzhou. Even breakfast is prepared according to the taste of the capital, and everything is in line with Ning Nuan's preferences.
Ning Nuan did not refuse, and only let Xiang Tao take it.
After breakfast, Mr. Yang also got up.
Ning Nuan didn't wait in the house, thinking that there were still many places he hadn't visited yesterday, so today he thought about going for a walk. She changed into men's clothes as usual, and when she came down with Xiang Tao, she saw Mr. Yang sitting in the lobby of the inn, frowning at a plate of steamed buns.
Xiang Tao called him again in surprise: "It's you again."
Mr. Yang raised his head, and when he saw them, his brows stretched out.
"This morning, I heard someone bring you breakfast." Mr. Yang said, "Fortunately, you didn't come down. This inn didn't even have a meat bun. I searched the entire inn, and it turned out that there were only dry steamed buns. "
Chu Fei hurriedly got down from the upstairs, walked to Ning Nuan and stood still, with a look of guarding a calf, his face full of vigilance, as if he was afraid of what he would do to Ning Nuan.
Mr. Yang was very worried about the man's hair. He didn't have the intention to take care of him. He glanced at him, and quickly lowered his head with a frown.
"If you don't like steamed buns, why not go out and buy some steamed buns?" Chu Fei said cautiously, "You can even afford to live in an inn, but you can't buy steamed buns?"
"It's really unfortunate." Mr. Yang smiled bitterly: "I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring enough money, but it really wasn't enough."
"Mr. Yang is not from Qingzhou?"
"It's true that I'm from Qingzhou, but now I have no home to return to." Mr. Yang sighed, grabbed two steamed buns and put them in his arms, "But it's okay, wait for me to hunt two prey and sell them. If you have money, you can continue to live in this inn."
Chu Fei looked at him several times, and when he saw that he was about to get up and leave, he was relieved. He turned his head to look at Ning Nuan, and in the blink of an eye, he put on an eager expression. As soon as the fan was unfolded, a romantic smile appeared on his face.
"Ning... Young Master Ning, it's really fateful for us to meet here. Since Young Master Ning wants to stroll around this Qingzhou city, it just so happens that I have never been to Qingzhou. Why don't we be friends together?"
Ning Nuan: "…"
Before she could answer, Mr. Yang, who was beside him, was suddenly startled, and even the two steamed buns in his hand rolled to the ground.
Ning Nuan lowered her head, watching the two white steamed buns rolled in dust and stopped at her feet, raised her head in confusion, and looked at Mr. Yang in confusion: "Mr. Yang?"
Mr. Yang had a ghostly expression: "What did he just call you?!"
Chu Fei was interrupted, and turned his head with a displeased face: "I called her Ning Gongzi, what's the matter?"
The expression on Mr. Yang's face was even more frightened: "Your surname is Ning too?"
Ning Nuan was puzzled.
She looked at the terrified look on Mr. Yang's face, and was even more puzzled in her heart. Her surname is not surprising, let alone that she has never been to Qingzhou.
Could it be an old acquaintance of my brother
But aside from the accidents of the bandits on the mountain, she didn't hear anything from her brother. Looking at Mr. Yang's appearance, why do you think that something terrible happened? Could it be that her brother can scare anyone
Ning Nuan replied inexplicably, "My surname is Ning, what's wrong?"
Mr. Yang took a few steps back before asking her vigilantly, "Your surname is Ning? Are you from the capital?"
"Exactly."
"Are there many people surnamed Ning in the capital?"
Ning Nuan thought for a while and replied, "Not much."
Mr. Yang took a few steps back: "Then... Then do you know Ning Lang?"
Ning Nuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
An expression of collapse suddenly appeared on Mr. Yang's face.
Chu Fei didn't know what to think, but looked at him thoughtfully.
Mr. Yang retreated all the way to the door of the inn, and asked his last question: "Who is Ning Lang from you? Is he the one you mentioned... brother?"
Ning Nuan hesitated even more, but nodded truthfully.
Mr. Yang sucked in a sharp breath, but he didn't even bother to pick up the steamed buns on the ground, so he turned around and ran away.
"Hey?!" Xiangtao cried out in confusion: "What happened to this fake gentleman? Why did he suddenly run away? Did the young master offend him before?"
Ning Nuan didn't know either.
But Chu Fei thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered; "I just said that I saw her somewhere!"
"What?" Ning Nuan looked at him suspiciously: "Have you met Mr. Yang before?"
"Where is she, sir, didn't your brother go up the mountain to find someone? After waiting for a day, he didn't wait. It turns out that the person is here." Chu Fei raised his chin and indicated the location of the door: "She is Qingzhou. On the mountain, the biggest mountain bandit leader is the one you are looking for this time."
Ning Nuan suddenly opened his eyes.
No wonder Mr. Yang can tell at a glance that she is disguised as a man. It turns out that Mr. Yang is also a girl!
"This... she..." Ning Nuan said, "My brother waited on the mountain for a day, but he didn't find anyone, but I met him first."
Chu Fei was depressed: "It's really a coincidence."
"But Yang... How could Miss Yang be here? I heard what she meant, and it seemed that she was hiding from someone." Ning Nuan was surprised: "Could it be hiding from my brother?"
Chu Fei nodded: "Exactly."
on the mountain.
Jiang Yunlan woke up and had breakfast again. When she saw Ning Lang again, her face was already ugly.
"Didn't you say that people will come back when it's dawn?"
Ning Lang shrank his neck and replied in a low voice, "I don't know where she went, she seldom goes down the mountain on weekdays, even if she does, she will come back soon, it's been a day and a night, why hasn't she disappeared? Her figure... Ouch! Mother!"
Jiang Yunlan grabbed his ear and said bitterly, "You really told me everything? You didn't hide anything? If not, why didn't she show up? Could it be that she was hiding from you on purpose?"
How did Ning Lang know!
He was still very aggrieved in his heart.
That person wouldn't be so disgusted with him that he wouldn't even want to see him, would he
